The user should enter the slot number appropriate to the ‘master’ Trusted TM Expander Interface
Module in the Controller Chassis, i.e. 1, then select the OK button. This connects the Expander
Chassis to the ‘master’ Trusted
TM Expander Interface Module. If no Expander Interface Module has
been defined at this point, one will be created automatically at the referenced position.
It is also possible to connect expander chassis to a Trusted TM Expander Interface Module by selecting
the Expander Interface Module with the left mouse button. The window shown in Figure 25 below is
displayed.

To connect an expander chassis to a channel on the Expander Interface, left-click and drag the ‘chip’
icon in the Unconnected Chassis window to the appropriate channel in the Physical Connections
area. The channel will then show the number of the connected chassis. Repeat for the other
unconnected chassis. To disconnect a chassis, left click on the channel and drag the icon back to the
Unconnected Chassis window. Click OK when complete.
Note that the connected Expander Chassis are now marked by a light blue ‘lightning flash’. This
indicates that the Expander Chassis is connected.
The Chassis Connection window also shows the switch configuration necessary for each expander
chassis. Place the cursor on the left-hand edge of Expander Chassis again, then press the left-hand
button to cause the Chassis Connection window shown in Figure 26 below to be displayed again.
